Nope, now let see what it is worth!
Eleblanc, it would be interesting to see what this install would do prior to changing out that radiator. If it's not to big of a hassle install the intercooler, run it. Document findings, then replace rad. Would prove or disaprove your theory. I'm certainly interested.

I don't plan on changing the rad for now. I sure will post here the results and how it affected my water temp.

Their 350HP kit says it's recommended for engines moving over 450CFM of air. I don't think a 3B gets anywhere close to that. Which core size did you order?

Ours are good to 600HP, not cheap but if you want serious cooling then look no further.
One thing with all the advertised intercoolers is they all say what HP the can run, very few say how much they can cool. Also low pressure drop in bar and fin intercoolers usually means poor cooling as the air does not have time to cool too.

So it has begun, a quick test fit. i have about 3/8" to spare between IC and bolts that holds the cover. I knew filling oil would become a issue, i will have to make sure i have long enough water pipe so i can toss it aside. Unless someone has a idea on where i could fill it in the futur?
Pump will go on the firewall. and before final installation i will do a leak test on the IC, fill with water then 5 psi
Other then that i think it looks nice right there!
